Went all the way to Brisbane just to get shown up by a former Kiwi? Bit embarrassing for Todd tbh.
Another wasted trip across the ditch. These owners must be minted to send horses for a 'learning experience'. Meanwhile the rest of us can't afford a feed at the dairy. Bloody joke.
Marketplace is still a quality horse. Runner-up in a $350k race ain't nothing to sneeze at.
2nd in a race like that is still a good result. Plenty of other trainers would kill for that.
ffs another 'long-term' gamble that'll probably amount to nothing. Seen it a hundred times.
Is this really news? Horse goes to Aus, gets beaten. Could've saved the airfare and watched from home.

Exactly. Could've saved the cash and put it into local racing instead.
Gotta admire the ambition though. Taking on the best, even if it didn't pay off this time. Good on him.
it's a fair point. But the media loves a 'journey' story. Same old horse racing hype.
He'll be back stronger. These trips build character for the horse and the team.
good on him. Locals gotta support each other not just tear down.
Character? What a load of shit. It's about money and ego. Nothing more.
Exactly. Short memory some people.
